I found your site through googling Aurora removal, and I want to thank in advance the people who take time to help deal with crap like this. I'll try to make this as quick and easy as possible for you.

So, I've searched the forums, and it seems like this is a common and hard to deal with problem, I've read through the "Must read" page, and run all the scans recommended, I already had all the programs but one, but I ran them again plus a few others, heres a list of what I ran, and the results;

Ad-Aware SE Professional (Full system scan) (removed some stuff, but apparently not Aurora)

Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta (Full system scan) (Nothing found)

Spyware Doctor (Trial version) (Full system scan) (removed some stuff, but apparently still not Aurora)

cwshredder (Nothing found)

CWShredder 1.59.1 (Nothing found)

Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.3 (Full system scan)

I also have Symantec Antivirus, and I update the definitions regularly. I have Microsoft AntiSpyware set to run a full scan every morning at five.

I downloaded the trial version of "ewido security suite" after seeing it recommended on here, I ran it and it detected "ylsybeqlss.exe" (which I know Aurora is running under after opening the task manager when an Aurora pop-up window was open and selecting "go to process")

It also detects "Poller.exe" but I have no idea what that could be.

I have an old version of "Ace Utilities" which I have used in the past to manage what starts up when I log in, among other things, I've made sure everything is enabled, excluding of course things I've disabled and taken off the list in the past.
